Aussie Ferrari Spotters Thread??

I can answer. I had 3 at a time at one stage. But it's not the same as your scenario. The Lotus will be a modern car. I'm yet to drive a modern car that is anywhere near as interesting To drive as a 355.

Silly signature here to annoy KIAI

 

Im sure you’re right. And that’s why I’d like to keep both.
Let’s just pretend I’m trying to sell the 355, FFS!

 

As I have said, you need 5 cars.

1. A classic car
2. A modern fast car
3. A track car
4. A family / practical car
5. A Ute

I can't afford a good example of any of those options.

I’ll never need a Ute. Strictly for bogans. Or the help.

I agree with

1) A practical car for everything including taking the dogs everywhere. Golf R wagon. Job done. This ticks your box 2 and 4.

2) A modern sports car. Emira. Or a Porsche if you’re boring and predictable.

3) A classic car. Agreed. But everyone’s idea of a classic car is different. Is a 355 a classic car? Or does it have to be older?

A track car? Would be nice, but definitely an indulgence only for those whom can afford it and have the time to use it regularly.
Otherwise a complete WOFTAM.

 

A 355 is now a modern classic in my eyes.

Mine too.

 

Do yourself a favour and keep the 355.

 

Just hold off for another two or three years and everything will come back to reality and you will able to afford one.

 

Sounds like your heart is set on selling it mate, so go for it. It's the best time to sell a Ferrari (and everything else) at the moment anyway.

Money is cheap and hard times are coming, so get out of it while you can if you are already thinking about it.

 

+1

But the Ferrari might be long gone by then.

 

+308

Especially the ute. I had never owned a ute in my life until around 10 years ago and in that time I've owned, bought and sold around 20 of them.

I will always have a ute in the family now as it's worth it's weight in gold to me. (Currently own a 2017 dualcab Hilux)

 

The Golf R ticks the practical box, not the modern fast.

The Emira ticks the modern fast.

The 355 definitely ticks the classic to me.

Track cars are great fun, and don't have to be hugely expensive; my Clubby or Gezim's MX5 are great examples.

Everyone needs a Ute.


My only comment on selling the 355 would be to be positive you don't want another Ferrari; like real estate, once out of the market it is hard to get back in.

 

You can tick 1.

If No 6 was a toaster, you could tick it too.

 

I want a blue Raptor.

 

I want a small jet with cup holders and enough room for two big suitcases ...... don't care about colour, only poofters worry about colours

 

WTF would you need room for two suitcases?

 

Yes. I'm really enjoying the Mini Cooper at the moment

 

I thought it was your daughters car?

 

Doesn't mean I can't use it. Although it doesn't work the other way around, she can't use the Ferrari

 

Mate don’t look at me I’m just a total hoarder..I don’t even have a CAMS licence so Ian will have to drive my race car…I do think though if you put the 355 into a beach house it will still give you enjoyment in a different way…

 

They are nice man, there are plenty of them here, maybe around 5 or 6 in that lovely blue colour.
